Dollar good value for wide margin success
He loves it around here, that's his third win here - two hurdles and a chase. I thought if he jumped off, he won, he's just quirky at the start. Even the last day in Kilbeggan, he was half thinking about it. He raced way off the pace but he finished very well. On his day he is very good. He's a right old horse and that is nine races he has won. His two Flat wins have probably left him higher than he wants, but I think he will win over fences. He's probably going to be harshly treated for hurdles, but 118 over fences is fairly workable for him I'd say. I brought him back in with the idea of going to Punchestown for one of the better races and I chickened out of it because of the big fields and messing at the start. If you have a false start or two with him, you're in trouble. I'd love to go to Galway but we went down there last year and there was three false starts and he just planted himself. He jumped one or two fences but he wasn't having any of it. It's just work with where we can get a smaller field.

Walk In The Brise lands Downpatrick finale
The loose horse was in and out and the horse on our inside was hanging out so it wasn't quite as straightforward as I hoped. She loved that good ground and the tight track, and travelled very well. She idled in front. I don't think she needed to improve to win. She'll go jumping now and I imagine with her pedigree she can probably go out in trip as well. She's from the family of Vroom Vroom Mag. She's not overly big but she's very athletic and I think on this ground she probably finishes stronger. One to look forward to.
